Piero Salardi
Born in Lima and based in Victoria, BC, I bring over twenty years of experience and a curiosity shaped by living in different parts of the world.
I enjoy discovering what makes a brand its own. Through conversation, research and experimentation, we find a direction together and carry it through identity, packaging and digital experiences.
My practice keeps evolving. Alongside typography, colour and materials, I’m exploring motion, sound and interaction, with AI and code opening up new ways to bring ideas to life. The tools expand the possibilities; meaning and care guide the work.

Living in Peru, the US, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Panama has shaped how I see the world. Each place brought new friendships, everyday rituals and ways of thinking.
Those experiences stay with me. They encourage me to listen closely, look beyond what feels familiar and stay curious about what things mean to different people.

You’ll work directly with me throughout the project, with room for conversation, exploration and shared decisions. When an idea calls for other expertise, I bring in trusted designers, developers, motion artists and photographers.
